Check out what the month of August has in store for you!

>>FEATURES

16 COUNTRY COOKIN’
Big Moe bought a car full of birdseed, stripped it, painted it a few times then took a very short rest so we could shoot it. Five minutes later he did a K-swap.
22 THE PARALLEL
Take one gorgeous desert backdrop, an incredible ITB-powered NSX, and an incredibly talented Jordan Shiraki (photog) and you have a dream come true.
28 THE MUGEN DIET
“EP” builds are rare enough, but finding one stocked with legit Mugen goods and a Stack cluster is damn near impossible. This one sets the bar very high…
34 BACK-TO-BACK
Tuan Chau appeared in HT earlier this year with his mean, green hatchback. Now he’s back with a sick GS-R that he built from the ground up. We’ll let you in on a little secret—this car is even better than the first!
40 CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
Old-school meets new with our cover feature EF. A real SiR showcasing an H2B conversion, custom hood and a blurred line between old and new.
48 COVERING ALL THE BASES
Puerto Rico is known for producing some out-of-this-world old-school drag cars, but we decided to shed a little light on their highly developed Honda community.
66 WHAT COAST?
He themed his car “black ice.” Although we thought it sounded like an up-and-coming rapper or perhaps a WWE wrestler, turns out it’s a spotless coupe with all the right mods.
72 ONE. TRACK. KILLER.
Nick’s AP1 was featured in another magazine already—but after new wheels, paint, seats and details, we felt a nasty track/street Honda like his deserved to be in HT. One of the few times the sequel is much better than the original!
82 SUNNY’S DELIGHT
You’ll probably never see another VIP-style Insight like Sunny Wong’s in the U.S. Also, you’ll probably never survive a night of drinking with Sunny during SEMA week. Just sayin’…

>>EVENTS

56 THE IA’S APRIL MEET
You know how we always say IA events are getting bigger and bigger? This time around we’re saying that IA events are getting bigger and bigger. So yeah. 60 EIBACH MEET 2011
SoCal’s Eibach Meet ’11 brought out street, show and race cars, a massive crowd and plenty of rain fall. Wait, what? No worries, the damp air didn’t scare anyone away!

>>WRENCHIN’

78 PROJECT CR-Z EXHAUST FLOW UPGRADE
P2R told us it came up with a pipe that replaces the CR-Z’s secondary cat and makes solid power. Of course, we didn’t believe it, so the company sent us one. Now we believe it.

>>REGULARS

08 SPOTLIGHT
10 ROAD RAGE
12 OH SNAPS
86 EXHAUST NOTES
88 ADULT TOYS
